    Teen Titans Go! To The Movies - TV series spin-off, loaded with super-hero comics/movies in-jokes. Only for comics fans/small kids.

    Worst directors ever?

    Overrated directors - I agree with the comments about Snyder - brilliant at constructing eye-boggling visuals, but something deeply wrong with his mental processes. He should never be allowed to have any input to story/script, he's like a 14-year old who has only ever read comics and who...

    Some great obscure movies you may not have seen (or heard of).

    Silent Bloodnight Remarkable, for all the wrong reasons. Superficially, it's a revenge slasher movie. But it's filmed in a sun-soaked Austrian summer, with an all-Austrian cast speaking English dialogue vich zey appear to hef learnt phonetically. Hysterical.

    Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation - throws mountains of stuff at you. Good fun for kids and adults. Ant-Man And The Wasp - finally opens in the UK! Funny, superb super-heroing, as good as the original, maybe better.

    Latest Movie That You Watched!

    Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again - the cast returns in a pleasingly sunny revisitation to the Abba back catalogue Mission Impossible: Fallout - Ethan Hunt and friends pick up from the previous film: much plot and outrageous action, entertaining too Hotel Artemis - distinctly odd action thriller

    Incredibles 2 - good sequel The Secret Of Marrowbone - in the horror genre, but keeps you guessing as to what sort. A good mystery.

    Latest Movie That You Watched!

    Sicario 2: Soldado - muddled but gripping with great performance from 15 year old Isabel Moner Tag - gown men continue to play Tag game started in childhood. It would be silly if it weren't true. It's still silly. And funny. The First Purge - was it the success of Black Panther which made...

    Super Troopers 2 - grimly unfunny collection of profanity poking fun at Canadians Ocean's 8 - tolerable female caper

    The shining. Mini Series

    Only two things wrong with the mini-series - the kid and the director.

    Hereditary

    I didn't find it terrifying, but I did find it very disturbing.

    Latest Movie That You Watched!

    Book Club - surprisingly touching comedy of mature ladies revitalising their nethers courtesy of 50 Shades. Hereditary - genuinely disturbing horror Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - episode 5 sees dinos escaping explosive island only to fall foul of big business. Contains more Stupid than usual.

    Cell - The Movie

    When a tone/message from mobile phones - sorry, cellphones - has the effect of rebooting the listener's brain (which means nearly everyone) and turning them into ravening zombies, Clay decides to go looking for his son, picking up other survivors on the way. John Cusack, Sam Jackson, the...

    Gerald's Game review - spoilers

    Jessie and Gerald go to their lakehouse for a little end-of-season R&R which, hopefully, might help out their ailing marriage. Gerald interprets this as offering the opportunity to try out a little experimental bondage, and handcuffs Jessie to the bedhead. This is not to Jessie's liking but...

    I liked it a great deal more than Sleeping Beauties.

    Once you've read The Outsider - here there be SPOILERS

    Genuinely - read no further if you want to avoid spoilers. When a boy is raped with a tree branch and savagely murdered, fingerprints, witnesses and DNA point to the much-loved local kids' baseball coach, and he is very publically arrested. It turns out that he has a solid alibi. Then tragedy...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story - enjoyable scifi heist escapism marred by an insistence on ticking boxes to tell us stuff we already knew.
